Merger & Acquisition Idea Field Lab - Advanced Micro Devices' acquisition of Globalfoundries
| Resumo: | This thesis examines the strategic implications of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the semiconductor sector, with a focus on the integration of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a fabless semiconductor company, and GlobalFoundries, a foundry. Set against the backdrop of intense global competition, rapid innovation, and crucial global conflicts, the potential economic benefits of a vertical integration is evaluated. It is also discussed whether the integration enhances AMD’s supply chain resilience, operational flexibility, and innovation capacity while aligning GlobalFoundries with evolving industry demands. The analysis encompasses pre- and post-merger valuations, deal structure, synergy evaluation, and strategic implications. |
